The world is a dark place at the moment, full of bad news reports and so much crime. It is difficult to handle at times, but if one can live in the moment it really does make such a difference. It&#39;s not always easy though. One can only do one&#39;s best. inkslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08188291999941733299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-55811215077181060492017-04-28T04:18:53.735-03:002017-04-28T04:18:53.735-03:00I found you by way of a link from Giggle&#39;s blo...I found you by way of a link from Giggle&#39;s blog and I&#39;m very glad I did. What a fantastic post and it resonated with me so much. It&#39;s so very hard not to be affected by all that goes on in the world. The day Trump became President I was overwhelmed with a deep sense of foreboding and sadness - I was on the verge of tears the whole day because I felt so disillusioned that despite everything abhorrent that he represents enough people agreed with him to give him access to the nuclear codes. It saddened me that people now are voting based on their fears and ignorance of other people - we&#39;ve learnt nothing from the two world wars we&#39;ve already had. I am one of life&#39;s empaths and I have to work really hard not to absorb the negative emotions of other people (especially animals as that&#39;s where my passion lies with the horrible ways we treat them) I find that art is my escape from the realities of the world, I use it to find my happy place away from the doom and gloom and I agree, poetry has always been the best way for expression - I wish more people would contemplate their navel instead of just hating anything they think is too different.

You have written what I am feeling and think...YES! You have written what I am feeling and thinking! When my mother lost my father she said she would continue to live but there would be no more joy in her life - a self fulfilling prophesy. The world is so frightening at the moment but fear is such a low level vibration - I look for and find joy in the little things, when I remember - the robins that have returned, the buds on the trees, the crows that call for their breakfast, my beautiful cats, a phone call from my daughter. There is comfort in my painting and drawing though it is so often a challenge for me to paint or draw and I still haven&#39;t figured out why. Life is lived in the moment - this I know to be true if only I could remember that more often - thank goodness for yoga! Your musings almost always echo my own - thank you!
